Episode 77.

Biryu!

Let me take a look at your wound.

I'm fine.

We need to take a look at your wound.

That's a deep cut.

I have medicine to treat him right now.

Who ordered you to kill me?

Tell me now!

I'm going to die, anyway.

Just kill me.

What did you just say?!

Stop it.

Hyeop-Bo, muk-guh.

Take biryu back to goguryeo.

I will go to the buyeo palace with them.

No!

Buyeo can be behind this conspiracy.

You shouldn't go back to buyeo!

Yes, going back to buyeo right now is like asking for death.

Tell me!

I bet you know who ordered them to do this!

I don't know.

Didn't you tell them where we were while tailgating us?!

If you don't tell me now, I'll kill you.

I don't know.

Step back.

I trust you.

Thank you for helping us. You may leave.

Hyeop-Bo, muk-guh.

Take biryu back to goguryeo.

I'm going to the buyeo palace.

Your majesty...

His majesty is here.

- Help me get up. - Yes.

I heard that you're leaving the palace.

But you're too ill to go anywhere.

I'm going to meet the people of buyeo.

My lack of virtue has made many people suffer for years.

I should repent before I die.

If you're so considerate of your people,

then why are you so inconsiderate towards me?

Don't you know how much pain I had to endure all these years because of you?

My lady...

I was only a woman who wanted her husband's love.

You're the one who turned me into a cold-hearted person.

You're the one who made me so desolate.

For the rest of my life, I will repent all the pain I've caused you.

Forgive me.

Your majesty...

Let's go.

I trust you.

Thank you for helping us.

You may leave.

What are you doing here?

Mother.

Did you find the proof?

Not yet.

You must hurry.

You must find it and get out of buyeo.

King dae-so likes me.

I can now take good care of you.

Why do I need to get out of here?

Buyeo is not a place for you to stay.

Find the proof.

Your majesty, ju-mong came here on his own will.

Why aren't you taking advantage of an opportunity to avenge my father's death?

Now is not the time.

Your majesty!

What are you afraid of?

If you can't do it, then I will.

I said now is not the time!

You're dismissed.

Hao-chen.

Yes, your majesty.

Select some able fighters to be assassins.

Prince!

What happened?

Is he dead?

We don't know yet.

We don't know?

They should be done by now!

Well...

Your majesty.

King ju-mong would like to speak to you.

I haven't made a decision yet.

Tell him to wait.

Your majesty, king ju-mong was attacked by assassins in mt. Chunmoo.

What?

These assassins tried to kill me in mt. Chunmoo.

They're buyeo soldiers, right?

What are you talking about?

I never ordered such a thing.

Why would I do something that foolish when there are envoys from many countries in buyeo right now?

Then who plotted such conspiracy?!

This took place on buyeo soil.

You should find out who's behind this.

If you don't, then goguryeo will never forgive buyeo.

The king came all the way here

to leave the past behind us and join together.

If you try to hide the truth of this matter,

goguryeo and buyeo will have to go to war.

Are you threatening me?!

We're not threatening you.

We're warning you.

Choose wisely.

Take them away immediately and find out who they are!

Yes, your majesty!

Take them away!

We must decide whether we should form an alliance with the han or goguryeo.

Goguryeo is too powerful to keep as an enemy, but the han is still strong.

We don't need to depend on an alliance to survive!

We can use both goguryeo and the han.

The prime minister is right.

Prime minister.

What's the matter?

King ju-mong was attacked by assassins in mt. Chunmoo.

Look what you have done!

We gained nothing, and now they're going to find out what we've done.

What are you going to do now?

We did gain something.

We don't need to worry about buyeo forming an alliance with goguryeo anymore.

What if they find out that we sent the assassins?

Don't worry. No one would know.

Are you sure?!

I'm not that careless.

Just trust me.

Your majesty.

Do you have the assassins?

Your majesty, now is not the time.

King ju-mong was attacked by assassins while he was at mt. Chunmoo.

The palace is in chaos right now.

Assassins?

Who sent the assassins?

We don't know yet.

Who was it?

Who sent you guys?!

- Wake them up! - Yes.

They're brutally torturing the assassins.

Maybe they're not lying.

Still, we now know that there are people in buyeo who want to kill his majesty.

We must find who they are.

I understand.

Your majesty!

You should go back to goguryeo!

Even if we can't form an alliance with buyeo,

you should look after your own safety.

Now we know for sure that there are people in buyeo who want to kill me.

Think about this.

What do they want?

They want goguryeo and buyeo to be hostile towards each other.

If we back out now, they will get what they want.

I took a risk to come back to buyeo in order to convince king dae-so.

Let's wait until we find out who's behind this.

Goguryeo palace.

I don't think king dae-so will accept his majesty's offer.

I agree.

There's no way king dae-so will understand his majesty's intentions.

But I'm sure he's contemplating right now.

He can't easily side with the han because goguryeo is too strong and the buyeo people are against it.

He can't easily side with goguryeo because of the bad memories he has with his majesty.

Your majesty...

What's the matter?

Prince biryu came back to goguryeo wounded.

Biryu!

Mother...

What happened?

Where's his majesty?

What happened?!

His majesty is safe.

Don't worry, your majesty.

- Escort him inside and call the royal physician. - Yes.

Oh, no!

Look what has happened...

Prince, prince...

How is he?

The cut is deep, but his bone wasn't damaged.

Oh, no...

When his majesty went to mt. Chunmoo to offer a prayer for hae mo-su,

he was attacked by unidentified assassins.

Those bastards!

How can anyone do such a thing

when his majesty went there to make an alliance?

He can if he's dae-so.

We can't let anyone get away with a plot to murder his majesty.

We must make buyeo liable for this.

Your majesty!

I will take the iron army and go to buyeo if you'll let me!

I'd like general bu wi-yeom and bu beo-no to place the iron army at the buyeo border.

Yes, your majesty.

Your majesty, the goguryeo iron army is now at the buyeo border.

Prime minister, what should we do?

We can't take on the goguryeo iron army.

If a war breaks out, we'll lose.

Your majesty, I'm sure the men who tried to kill king ju-mong were sent by the han.

But the assassins didn't confess anything.

How do you know?

At first I thought they were sent by you.

But if it wasn't you, then the han is the only one who will plot such a thing.

The han doesn't want buyeo and goguryeo to form an alliance.

Kill the assassins and say that the han was behind this.

Are you telling me to form an alliance with goguryeo?

We should accept king ju-mong's offer for now and buy some time.

It hasn't been long since you ascended to the throne.

We should build strength to stand against the han and goguryeo later on.

Who sent you? Tell me!

Tell me!

Stop!

They don't say anything.

There's no need to torture them anymore.

The assassins who tried to kill king ju-mong were sent by the han.

Even so, buyeo needs to take responsibility for what happened on buyeo soil.

Forgive us.

If the han really was behind this, then they should be held liable.

From now on, buyeo will ban trade with the han.

What about the alliance between goguryeo and buyeo?

I will make an alliance with goguryeo like king ju-mong wants.

You have chosen wisely.

Goguryeo will teach our parching technology to buyeo

so that you can build enough strength to fight against the han.

We will also provide food, salt and medicine for you.

Thank you.

You did well, your majesty.

Today's humiliation will benefit you in the future.

I will pay him back for today's humiliation after buyeo becomes stronger.

Congratulations, your majesty.

We now have the alliance you wanted.

- Congratulations. - Congratulations, your majesty.

I don't think king dae-so is sincere.

Taesunin!

You're being rude!

I too don't believe that king dae-so is sincere.

But I'm sure he'll understand me someday.

Even if king dae-so wasn't being sincere,

at least buyeo won't make an alliance with the han.

That's good enough for now.

As soon as I go back to goguryeo, we will start getting ready to attack liaodong.

Mother.

What's wrong?

Nothing. Let's go.

I will go inside the buyeo palace tonight and find that proof.

Stop right there.

What's the matter?

What's your name?

My name is sang-chun.

I see.

You may go now.

There's a detached palace

where king geum-wa's second queen used to reside in.

The proof you need is hidden under the pillar.

What is it?

It's a broken sword.

Tell me.

Who's my father?

Mother...

Your father is the king of goguryeo.

Did you just say that king ju-mong of goguryeo is my father?

Take that sword with you and visit your father.

If you show him that sword, he will know who you are.

I don't understand.

If my father is the king of goguryeo,

why did we live in poverty for all these years?

Why did he abandon us?

Why didn't he look for us?!

There was a good reason.

Why did you have to toil for all these years?

I can't believe this.

I can't believe that he's my father!

Yuri, what's wrong?

Why are you so upset?

Is it because your mother's sick?

You'll only make your mother more upset by drinking.

Stop drinking!

Leave me alone!

I don't understand.

If my father is the king of goguryeo,

why did we live in poverty for all these years?

Why did he abandon us? Why didn't he look for us?

Prince! Prince!

What is all the commotion?

Something big has happened.

Buyeo and goguryeo have formed an alliance.

What?

This could only happen if brother dae-so has gone crazy.

We have to hide right away!

Hide?

Do you think that the yo-dong governor will leave us alone now?

We have to hide.

I see.

Let's go.

- Hurry. - Hurry, let's go!

Let's get prince young-po.

Yes.

What are you doing?

How can you not know what is going on?

Buyeo and goguryeo have made a treaty and you are responsible for it.

You may have intended to kill ju-mong, but your sins will kill me instead.

I will do anything for you, governor.

Please save me.

Governor, please save us.

Take them away!

Governor.

Governor.

Governor!

Your majesty.

Please get in the carriage.

I'm fine.

Song-ju.

Yes, your majesty.

Let's go mt. Chunmoo.

Yes.

Hae mo-su,

are you looking at the unified joseon land that ju-mong has built?

The land that you and I once promised to form, ju-mong is now making it.

Forgive me for once trying to stop ju-mong on this path.

Halt.

You can stay here.

Your majesty, I will escort you.

If you really consider ju-mong as your son,

you wouldn't try to take over the da-mul army and jol-bon.

Stop lying to yourself.

You're torturing me by pretending to protect me.

Let me ask you for one last time.

Let me go.

I already told you... That I'll make you stay by my side if it means I have to kill you.

If you don't turn around, I'll kill you.

Kill me.

My body may be with you, but my soul will be by hae mo-su and ju-mong's side.

My lady...

Here. Strike me.

Leader.

Don't hesitate and strike me!

This very armor that I am wearing, your life will depend on it.

If you can Pierce this armor, then both you and I will die.

Go ahead and strike!

Leader!

Yes!

Well done!

Nice job!

Leader! Leader!

What?

There has finally been a proclamation!

What?

The king has finally made the order that we will fight the yo-dong army.

The yo-dong army?

Yes.

Finally, we will realize the fruits of our labors!

Iron workers!

Yes!

Let's work hard and defeat the yo-dong army!

Let's use our iron swords to fight against the han nation!

We have worked so hard to reach this moment!

Yes.

I heard that you were looking for me.

Is there a man named sang-chun among the royal guards?

Yes, he placed first place in the tournament.

His majesty must keep him away.

What do you mean?

His face is filled with evil energy.

He will harm his majesty in the future.

Where's sang-chun?

He didn't come to work yet.

Since when did the royal guards become such slackers?!

- Go and find him! - Yes.

Did you make up your mind?

I will go and meet my father.

Good.

But I'm only going because I want to ask him why he abandoned us,

and why he made us live in such misery.

Goodbye.

Yuri...

Why are you going to goguryeo?

Yuri, tell us.

What's the matter?

I'm here to look for guard sang-chun.

Is he sick?

He left after he heard that his uncle is sick.

I guess he didn't have time to report to his superiors.

When he comes back, tell him to report to the palace immediately.

Yes.

Have you seen du-bong?

He's been gone since morning!

We need to get out of here.

What? But we just got here!

This place is dangerous.

Let's go.

What's going on?

What are we doing in goguryeo?

You can tell us now.

I'm here to meet king ju-mong.

Why would you want to meet king ju-mong?

He's my father.

Are you out of your mind?

What's wrong?

Du-bong, stop him!

I think he's gone mad.

Yuri!

Yuri!

Stop!

What's the matter?

I'm here to request an audience with the king.

What?

Why would you want to meet his majesty for?

I will tell him myself after meeting him.

- You wretch! - Yuri!

What's the commotion about?

You wretch!

What are you doing?

What's the matter?

He just requested an audience with his majesty.

Why do you want to meet his majesty?

Give this to him.

If you do, he'll know who I am.

Your majesty, master mo pal-mo is here.

- Tell him to come in. - Yes.

What's the matter?

Someone wanted me to give this to you.

This is a broken piece of a sword.

Who asked you to give this to his majesty?

Where's the man who gave this to you?

He's outside the city.

General of the royal guards.

Yes, your majesty.

- Go and bring him to me! - Yes.

Mother.

Welcome.

Did you go to the iron chamber today?

I was with master mo pal-mo until now.

Did you make the steel sword you wanted?

Not yet.

You will make one after you get enough experience.

Don't worry.

Yes.

Mother, something strange has happened.

A man with a broken sword is here to see father.

Yuri.

Who requested an audience with his majesty?

Over there.

It's you...

Why are you here in goguryeo?!

You'll find out once I meet his majesty.

Did you bring him?

Yes.

Come in.

Your majesty, do you remember him?

He's the guard from buyeo who competed with prince biryu in the tournament and followed us to mt. Chunmoo.

Did you bring this broken sword?

Yes.

What's your name?

My name is Yuri.

What's... your mother's name?

My mother's name is ye soya.

Your majesty!

Are you really Yuri?

Are you Yuri?

Your majesty...

I can't believe this!

Are you my father?

Yes.

I... I am your father.

I am your father.

Then why did you abandon my mother and me?

Why did you let us live in such misery?

Where is his majesty now'?

When sangchun was escorted back to palace

we were attacked by an unknown assailant

and sangchun has escaped with that guy

your highness

his majesty has gone to buyeo

her highness has regained consciousness

however, she is too sick

she may never recover

it's acceptable...

For his majesty to have a few concubines

but, the presence of Yuri...

Affects prince piryu and prince onjo

minister

ye soya...

Is seriously sick due to her hardship

she's now at the brink of death

if she dies

I can never seek for her pardon
